Giving a whole new meaning to "battleground state"
And a lot of the Jan 6 chuds really, really thought they'd get away with it. They had two very strongly held beliefs:
If we're holding Thin Blue Line flags and screaming the word constitution, the state wouldn't touch us!
If we really, truly believe, in our heart of hearts, that we're covered by a legal exception to do crimes, the state can't touch us!
The test for many legal exceptions is whether a "reasonable person" would believe such-and-such. But conservatives really think that if they strongly profess a belief, that's just as good. It's why they started calling all their opponents pedophiles. The actual concept doesn't even cross their mind, to them it's just a word that means "can be murdered"
Yeah, RevLeft summed it up like that. These suburban fascists like to cosplay rebels, but deep down they know they're in a cozy spot.
